Despite Manchester United struggles, owners set to buy new team

Manchester United owners The Glazer Family have been linked with moves to buy a new team.

According to Indian cricket legend Sourav Ganguly, the Glazer family are in talks to take over Indian Super League side East Bengal.

The report revealed that East Bengal are without investment at the moment after their association with Shree Cement Limited ended last month.

The Kolkata club, which play in the country’s top-flight, are believed to now be in a perilous position.

Ganguly, who is the president of the Board of Control for Cricket in India, speaking at a press conference on Tuesday, said: “Yes we have spoken to them and others also.

“It will take 10 to 12 more days to know who will be the entity.”

When asked whether Man United are coming as an investor, Ganguly clarified: “No no, as an owner.”

Ganguly is helping the Glazer family to oversee the deal.

East Bengal endured a miserable 2021/2022 campaign in the ISL, finishing bottom with just one win from 20 regular season matches.
